Last Evening.

The boys were soaked when they re-
turned from the parade. They pro-
nounced it no picnic.
Several runaways occurred during
dress parade.
The pretty uniforms of the artillery
and their soldierly bearing attracted
much attention during the parade.
The committee of arrangements is de-
serving of praise at the successful man
ner in which everything connected with
the parade passed off this morning.
Mr.. A. M. Rutan, of Medelia came
over to mess few days with the boys.

Poultry and game are less nutritious
but more digestible than other meats,
Boiled fowls with sauce, over which
crate the yoIks of eggs is a magnii-
cent dish for luncheon.
Remember, much of the skill Of
roasting poultry in the best manner
depends upon basting faithfully.
The yolks of eggs bind crust much
better than the whites. Apply it to
the edges with a brush,
In cooking fowl, to ascertain when
il Is done, put a skeweT in the breast,
and if the breast is tender the fowl is
done.
To give roast birds frothy appear
anee, dredge just before they are done
with flower, and bsste literally with
melted batter.
When onions are added to stuffing,
chop them so fine that in eating the
mixture one does not detect their
presence by biting into a piece.
Eggs often turn black when boiled
hard. If they are put in boiling water
ten minutes, and then into cold water,
the yolk will remain a bright yellow,
Ladies doing their own marketing
will do we'll to remember that young
poultry may be told by the tip Of tho
breastbone being soft and easily bent
between the fingers, and when fresh
by its bright, full eye, plant feet and
soft, moist skin.

CHARLES PARISH LOUISIANA
The Development of Southern
Manufactures

N. o. Plcayune.
The rapid development of cotton
manufacturing in the Southern States
is attracting much attention from
thoughtful observers up North. The
Springfield (Mass. Republican is one
Of these, and it expresses itself on the
subiect as follows
"Cotton manufacturing down South
is not only rapidly growing, but grow.
ing at the expense of New England
industry. With raw material and fuel
right at hand, that section Is able to
surmount any adverse climate infu.
ences or native genius, and place its
goods in successful competition all
over the country with those from New
England with all the latter's economic
position and momentum and great
plants scaled down during long series
Of years,
"Much doubt has been expressed in
this section of the South's chances of
success in competing with our cotton
factories climatic influences and the
genius of their people were against
them, it has been said, while the East
eTn States have acquired a plant and
economic momentum that will be hard
to overcome. But she fact is patent
that the South is already formidable
competitor, and growing more so every
day, for the cotton goods markets that
have heretofore been monopolized by
New England. She has raw material
and fuel right at hor doors, while New
England has neither. She has sud,
denly acquired the New England GO
ahead spirit, and such are her resour-
ces and opportunities in this line that
New England capital has become in
terested 10 their development. 1t is
very reasonable, therefore, to fear that
cotton manufacturing in New England
has seen as good days as it ever will.
This is the view of E. H, Cheney Of
New Hampshire, a prominent manu-
faeturer, who recently visited the
South. More cotton mills, he says,
have been built in Georgia since the
war than are now in operation 10 all
New Hampshire. If au old mill burns
up in my State, he continues, it will
rarely be rebuilt, for capitalists are
not likely to put more money into q
manufacturing business so far from
raw material and where fuel is 30
scarce. New Hampshire, he concludes
may as well look the matter squarelY
in the face and New England may
as well for that matter"
We do not expect nor do We desire
that New England industries should be
destroyed by the transfer of thelI
trade SouthWard. The New England
mills which possess first,class machin,
cry, plants and good management will
always be able to maintain themselves
in supplying a certain demand from
the country around them, but mos
likely the weaker concerns will b.
weeded out. The country is filling uE
so rapidly with population that fol
some time to come there will be neeC
for increased manufacturing facilities
But it is certain that the Southern
cotton mills as we'll as the southeFr
iron works, if properly managed, wll
be able to maintain themselves and Il
develop at 3 healthful rate against an
competition which is now in sight

FIG CuIture.
--
Now orleans Chroniele.

New Orleans Chronicle.
As it win soon be the season when
those who wish to cultivate figs must
set out ths cuttings or transplant the
young trees, few words in regard to
this valuable tree may not be unproft-
able to our readers.
II is not generally understood that
the fig tree thriyes better in dry and
sandy soil than in our rich bottom
lands, but suoh is nevertheless the case.
Fig trees grown in rich soil do not
fruit well, but run to wood, and what
fruit they do bear viii be tasteless
and colorless. While the soil must
be well drained, the worst piece Of
ground on the farm will do best. A
piece Of ground on which water 10
likely to stand will be fatal TO trecs,
Hence the bestloeality in which to cut
tivate tho fig tree is that on the hills
Of the lower Mississippi, and the sandy
lands Of the coast There the trees
will flourish and bear heavy crops,
sometimes as many as three in year,
and nearly always two.
As iigs are porishable fruit, it
would hardly pay to ship them to a
distant market but when picked just
before they are ripe they make pre-
serves which are very popular and
saleable. 1t is the dried fg, however,
that pays the cultivator the beat, and
they keep for an indefinite period, and
the demand for them at relnunerative
prices Is inexhaustable. BY means Of
a patent drier, which does not cost
much, the producer can dry his entire
crop without loosipg any Of the fruit,
aud be sure Of meeting with aprompt
demand as soon as it enters the mar
ket.
The dried figs which we get in this
market, with the exception Of small
quantity brought from California, are
all imported from the Mediterranean
countries and Spain and Portugal,
AS it evidently pays to bring them
those long distances, it can readily be
seen that home producer would have
a great advantage.
The advantage which producers in
Louisiana and Mississippi would have
over those of California would be that
here the fJuit ripens in tho latter part
of June and early in July, while in
California it is the middle of August
before they get any ripe fruit, This
gives our producers two months the
start in getting freshly dried figs into
market, aud any one who knows any
thing about the fruit business is fully
aware of the Importance of two
months time. 1t is that time which
has enabled the European shippers 70
defy California competitors, for there
the fruit Fipens al the same period
ours does.
We shall take occasion to again
refer to this important industry, whom
we shall give some details as to oulti-
vatiou and the different varieties.

HOW Il EGeots state Credit,

Daily States.
A sign OF the times was witnessed
on Carondelet street during the past
week. Owing, in a measure, to the
strengeacy Of the local money market
there had been no movement in State
Bonds, and prices for those securities
had dragged considerably. But on
Thursday afternoon, simultaneously
with the announcement Of a victory
for the apti-Nicholls party at Baton
Rouge, an active demand for Louisl-
ana Four per cents developed here,
and many and heavy, purchasing or
ders, which local operators we're una.
bic TO Gil, were transmitted TO New
York. AS the situation became bet
ter understood and it was seen that
the "Reform element had been routed
foot, horse and dragons in one Of its
Wanted stropgholds, the demand for
State bonds increased, and buyers
eyineed . disposition 10 pay the high
EST prices asked for the desired securs-
ties, SO the market stands at present.
In this connection, it is an interesting
fact that CaFondelet street is offering
freely, and with no takers, to bet on
any Of the following conditions
Four to one That Nichols will not
be nominated,
Three to one That McEnery will
be nominated.
Three to one That II Nichols is

Five to one That if McEpery i

CultiYator.
No idea has done more to repress
farming progress than the idea that
farm laborer need not be skilled, that
brute strength is the main requisite.
This never was true, and is less so
now than ever before since improved
machinery has to be handled. But
even in handling such old-fashioned
implements as the ak and the hoe
efficiency depends as much upon skill
as upon muscle. 1t is by no means
the largest or strongest hired man who
will do the most work in a day, And
when help is hired that is entirely un-
used to our methods of farming, its
inexperience greatly detracts from its
value. The truth is that farming is a
trade, that has to be learned If the
workers at it would be effective. 1t
requires knowledge and skill in far
larger number of things than most
other kinds Of business, In fact, it
is never fully learned. The oldest
and most successful farmer Ia generally
the most ready to learn something new
about his business, and it is usually this
habit which he has kept up through
his life that has given him his success,
That farmer shows only his limited
idea of bis business who thinks that
he knows so much about it that be
cannot learn anything more. And
though skill in farm help is desirable
it is sometimes better in rough work
to have a green hand willing to do as
be is told, and to learn, than one self,
conoeited with the idea that he knows
everything already, Much depends
upon employers. Some are themselves
50 conceited that few hired men are
willing to try to learn from them.
